Arkansas solar splits into a before and an after. Systems that made the state’s net-metering cutoff keep full retail credit through 2040; newer ones settle at less generous rates, and the difference changes what a good installer looks like. We vetted the three Arkansas-based companies below on their own published track records, licensing, and how honestly they price the new rules.
Seal Solar, Stitt Solar and Delta Solar are the three vetted Arkansas-based installers in our network. The right one starts by asking which side of the September 30, 2024 grandfather line your home is on, because that answer decides whether your system should be sized big or sized tight.
Our Top 3 Solar Companies in Arkansas
Every company below is Arkansas-based and was checked against state contractor licensing and its own published claims. Nobody paid to appear, and every fact comes from the company’s own materials, verified by our team.
Seal Solar
The volume leader: more residential kilowatts installed than any other Arkansas-based company in recent state rankings, with in-house crews out of North Little Rock. Its own pitch is cashflow, claiming most residential clients come out ahead within a month of switching. Battery storage and EV charging are on the menu.
Stitt Solar
The longevity pick: installing since 1978, the longest-running solar name in the state by a wide margin. BBB A+ out of Rogers, and one of the few installers anywhere that publishes a concrete timeline: about 7 weeks from contract to completion.
Delta Solar
Arkansas’s agricultural solar leader, with 21+ MW across farm, poultry, commercial and residential projects. For homeowners that pedigree shows up as financial modeling built on your real site and bill, plus something rarer: an active service division that inspects and maintains orphaned systems, including roof-replacement support.

The 2040 Grandfather Clause Divides Every Arkansas Quote
Under Arkansas’s Act 278 framework, systems interconnected by the September 30, 2024 deadline locked in 1:1 retail net metering through 2040. Systems installed after it earn less for exported power under the state’s revised crediting rules. Neither situation kills the math, but they produce different right answers: grandfathered homes can run larger arrays profitably, while new systems reward tighter sizing and self-consumption. An installer quoting Arkansas in 2026 should ask which side of the line you are on before quoting a single panel. All three companies above do.
The gap between grandfathered and current export rates is the biggest variable in an Arkansas quote. Enter your ZIP code to see what current crediting means for a system sized to your usage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the largest solar installer in Arkansas?
Seal Solar of North Little Rock is the largest Arkansas-based residential installer, with 3,500+ systems completed and the most residential kilowatts installed in recent state rankings. National installers also sell in Arkansas, but among companies headquartered in-state, Seal leads on volume.
Does Arkansas still have net metering in 2026?
Arkansas still credits exported solar power, but full 1:1 retail net metering is closed to new systems; it applies only to systems that were interconnected by September 30, 2024, which keep that rate through 2040. New installations earn a lower export credit, so 2026 quotes should be sized for self-consumption. Details are in our Arkansas incentives guide.
Should I get quotes from more than one Arkansas installer?
Yes, and in Arkansas the useful comparison is between the three companies above because they price the same rules differently. Seal leans on volume pricing, Stitt on premium equipment and process, Delta on engineering. Two quotes will usually reveal which trade-off fits your property.
Before you sign anything, check what survives in Arkansas incentives, sanity-check pricing against Arkansas solar costs, and get the whole-state picture in our Arkansas solar guide.
